Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at Arba Minch General Hospital, South Ethiopia. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from December 1 to 30, 2024 at Arba Minch General Hospital. A total of 381 adults with T2DM were selected using systematic random sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews, medical record reviews, and physical measurements. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to identify factors associated with hypertension. Results are presented as adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Results: The prevalence of hypertension was 52.8 % (95 % CI: 47.6,57.9). Independent factors included age ≥ 40 years (AOR: 3.32; 95 % CI: 1.68,6.56), rural residence (AOR: 0.41; 95 % CI: 0.19,0.88), family history of diabetes (AOR: 2.31; 95 % CI: 1.23,4.45), diabetes duration ≥10 years (AOR: 3.50; 95 % CI: 1.87,6.65), physical inactivity (AOR: 2.53; 95 % CI: 1.01,6.55), and not using a self-monitoring device (AOR: 2.11; 95 % CI: 1.13,3.93). Conclusion: More than half of adults with T2DM had coexisting hypertension. Integrated chronic disease management focusing on lifestyle modification, regular blood pressure monitoring, and enhancing patient self-care are essential to improve outcomes in this population.
